we only spent about $15. I was embarrassed to put it on fb because like pp said, everyone else went ALL out. I know some people spends a couple hundred buck on Easter! I mean if you got it then go for it, but we ain't got it lol. I would rather save that money and take DSS out to the movies or to do something fun personally.

I spent about 75-80$ this year, but there were not many items in the basket. I'd rather spend more on a few quality items then go crazy and buy a bunch of junk that gets played with for 10 mins and tossed to the side. My daughter's Easter basket had 2 books, 2 dvds, a stuffed duck, and some glow sticks in it. She liked everything in her basket. I didn't put any candy in the basket because I knew she would be getting candy and treats from other family at Easter. I don't think it is good to go too crazy at Easter or Christmas. All the gifts and candy can distract kids from what the holiday is really about.

Mostly our Easter baskets usually have stuff for spring/summer like sidewalk chalk, glow sticks, bubbles and some candy. I've moved more towards experiences like movie tickets and the like b/c the kids have plenty of stuff. Our camper is pretty stocked with all the spring/summer toys so they really didn't need any of that stuff this year.

I spent more this year than I usually do. We recently moved DS to his big boy bed and he needed a new comforter. So we went ahead and bought one and gave it to him for Easter, along with a chocolate bunny, a new cup, and his Easter egg hunt.
